"Item list is empty" and Kube API Failure

[nmdaniil]

Issue
When selecting a namespace in Pods or any other resource, if the API fails (e.g., 502 Bad Gateway), Lens incorrectly shows "Item list is empty", misleading users. It’s easy to believe this is true, even though there could be hundreds of pods—the API just failed.

Additionally, after switching namespaces, the loading indicator does not appear. The UI still shows "Item list is empty", and if the API eventually responds, the list appears at a random moment without clear feedback.

Expected
Show the actual error message with a "Refresh" button instead of an empty list.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Lens → Any resource (e.g., Pods)
2. Select a namespace
3. API fails (e.g., 502)
4. UI incorrectly shows "Item list is empty"

Environment

• Lens Version: 2025.1.161916-latest
• OS: MacOs Sonoma
• Install Method: .dmg
